You go allot going on there Dan...
Grandkids are a blast.. I have lots of fun with all 9 of mine..
Sounds like making some good headway on the 70 Coronet.. Nice !!!

 

I do have to say.. it was a great day to be out for a cruise here in SO-CAL
About 60 was the high..

 

Don't worry I've got plenty.

 

good morning all. I have been studying a lot over the past couple weeks and on Friday passed the test for my Master Journeyman mechanical. Now I just have to wait until some warmer weather to install the parts for the Jeep. If all goes well should be able to run it one more time at Bandimere this summer.

 

Big Congratulations.

Not familiar with all of the American trade licensing can I assume this is HVAC based?

 

Congratulations and yes let's hear more about it.

 

Good job....Congrats!!!!!!

 

Yes it is. I got laid off in November from a company I was with for over 3 years. I had not been continuing my education and career because I was working for a good company that was paying me well. Decided I wanted to better myself before I moved on to another company and decided this was my next step. This puts me in position to open my own company which I can run weekends/evenings and have something to fall back on if I ever get blindsided by a company again. I am still in the process of educating myself on all those details. Things were delayed due to some family issues but in the end the delay was very beneficial to me.

 

You will never regret your decision to get back to school, good for you!

 

Well it's a snow day in northern Iowa today, kids are out of school and playing in 12" of wet snow. Fun day for the kids!
Hope all's good with every one.

 

Good Morning Y'all... Hope your in for a good weekend? Going to be cool and sunny here in SO-CAL... 65* will be the high.. I am Waiting for the roof to dry out some so that I can play Roofer on a Simi-Flat Roof.. Not My kind of fun.

Well... Have a great weekend Y'all....

 

Bob a bag of quick set concrete mix is your friend, that stuff around the leak will fix it for years. Works likes stop leak in a radiator.

 

Weight is not an issue???????? Never would have guessed that was a fix ???

 

The one thing I hate more than a leak>>>>>> Is fixing one.....

 

I had a flat roof on my shop, I hate flat roofs! One big pain in the butt.

 

Morning. Getting my tired bones ready for another day of carpentry work. Yesterday prepared for the beam in Mustang son's basement, removed the wall and it goes up today.

Hopefully all his young strong buddies show up at noon to hoist. Me, don't tell anyone but I am dragging my *** today.

 

With 12" of new snow this week we are off to the sledding hill with a couple of new sleds, we gave them a cote of wax just because so they should be fast.!

My back hurts just thinking about the rest of the day.

 

Good Afternoon Y'all.... I'm with you guy... The older I get the more broken I feel...Nice day to do the roof... 70* and a slight breeze... All I can say, Is, I hurt all over now...Bahahahahahahahahaha...

Ok.... I'm done being a sissy.... Rant Over...

 

That kid will sweat at twenty degrees, I froze my *** off.

 

450lb, 14' 6" beam up with the engine hoist, slick as sh.... Nice to see my son's buddies all showed up like they said. Feel good now but will likely wake up sore, job well done and a few good laughs.

 

Last one I put up in my garage I did my self, 20 foot H beam through the end of the shop, picked it up with the cheery picker one end at a time and slid it in.

 

Morning. Can't sleep in anymore like my son, always up at 6;30 even when the alarm isn't set. Hopefully I can recoup today.

Our beam was a tough one like threading a needle, picked up in the middle and slid into place, not my idea of fun. When his wife came home we made like we were planning on knocking out the foundation for a ramp to the underground garage and the beam was for a chain hoist trolley. Not funny to her, at all.

 

Good Morning Y'all... Boy sounds like we are all having a great time working on our off hours of work,,Bahahahahahahahaha....
Got the roofing out of the way.... Just food for thought.... A 300+LBS old guy should not be up on the roof, doing any kind of roofing... Just saying....lol
Dam I hurt all over.... Time for a Burger and some Fries....

 

Are you saying there's no mistaking you falling off the roof?

Glad you have it fixed Bob, drip drip drip, did you hear something?

 

If I fix a leak in the roof it will drip on a sunny day!

 

Yes...Bahahahahahahaha
Dont jinks me....lol

 

I see we draw the same lucky straws...

 

And to think I missed the "Grand National Roadster Show" to fix a leaky roof..
F-*%$*&*&#@@#%$^%*&...

Just hit the "Slideshow"...
